      Apparently there are none. Am I right? :D Maaaaan, I remember the first time I saw what I suspected was a young black journo trying to work for The New York Times. I ain't even kidding. I was like "Brother, yuh need a little work." He mighta been 19 for all I knew. Know what I'm saying? It really just looked like his spell check wasn't working. No cap. He was GOOOOOOOOD. But not perfect. Lol. I remember when my buddy Cole thought our school paper was so bad it was blowing his mind. And he was furious. So I traded him up with some of our various styles that we employ and these are pretty big trade secrets where if they fell into the wrong hands really could create a genuine terrorist-dynamo. And so that's why we investigate instead of invade people's privacy. And maaaaaaaan, you know I've been miced up for like 25 years. This is why I live such a saintly freaking life in my 30s and honestly there ain't no shame in my game. But yeah sometimes you just have to go somewhere really new and cause a big freaking scene. For me, it was Japan. And what craaaaazy timing.

    As a Brit I had very little knowledge of the Boston Tea party, after watching this I can see why the colonist's got so angry. As a tax paying worker I don't mind paying tax on the 2 jobs that I work as it pays for my childrens education and for the much under pressure NHS a service that gave my nan a new hip no charge, that delivered my children no charge and is treating my fathers cancer no charge. But if I have to pay a tax on my beloved tea there would be trouble. P.s when I say no charge 1/4 of my wages goes on tax so it's not free, plus I pay for all the people who choose not to work and contribute to the services they use.

    • @darthplagueis13
      @darthplagueis13 3 года назад +2

      They couldn't afford to. The Tea Act was issued in an effort to save the East India Company because the East India Company was so financially essential to the british economy at the time that the entire british colonial empire would have started crumbling if the EIC went bankrupt.
      As much as americans try to represent the british as merely greedy, to the british there were larger things at stake.

The americans are not free people, they are a colony. They are supposed to follow what their mother colony says. I understand how it's taxation without representation but I think the colonies were just an angry mob influenced by our founding fathers (who were policital and manipulating people).
